- Zombie Lake (1981) Nearly four decades after the end of WWII, the scars of the conflict were still felt across Europe, and 1981's Zombie Lake was French director Jean Rollin's way of dealing with it.
- Revenge Of The Zombies (1943) Though the Nazi zombies trend really took off in the decades after WWII, Revenge of the Zombies was one of the few to come out while the war was still raging.
- The Frozen Dead (1966) Mad scientists are a key ingredient to the Nazi zombie movie, and the 1966 British shocker The Frozen Dead was a modern-day Frankenstein.
- Outpost (2008) Nazi zombies naturally lend themselves to horror action films, and 2008's Outpost brought its excitement and thrills to the modern day. In war-torn Eastern Europe, a group of mercenaries is hired to protect an eccentric millionaire, but they soon discover a stash of undead Nazi soldiers.

Both director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson have plenty of successes in their career, but Screamremains a big highlight for both men. Williamson's script managed to deftly be so many things -- it was a sly meta/self-parody about the horror genre that didn't cross the line into goofiness, while also playing as a successful whodunit and, mos...
Count Orlok is moving to Germany, and he’s bringing pestilence and shadows with him. F.W. Murnau’s shameless rip-off of Bram Stoker’s Dracula does away with the sensuality that many associate with the undead monster, revealing the vampire to be a sad and rat-like creature, tormented by isolation and completely wrong for the modern world. Murnau see...
The movie that gave birth to the widespread "horror movie as faux-documentary" trend and that inspired such films as Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Projectis quite an effective scare fest in retrospect. Some of its then-inspired choices in the realm of "is it or isn't real" seem dated and obvious now, given the fact that the Internet seemingl...
All of today's mega-popular vampire franchises owe a debt of gratitude to Count Dracula. And as much as Bram Stoker's original novel helped popularize the vampire story, it was Universal's 1931 adaptationthat cemented the image of Dracula in the minds of most moviegoers. Dracula condenses and combines many of the main characters from the novel, ope...
The zombie genre is bigger than ever now, and you have 28 Days Laterto thank for it. The genre was practically dead by the time Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland gave zombies a much needed shot of adrenaline with this film. Seriously, this movie is pumped up on adrenaline. The zombies -- er, sorry, “infected” -- sprint through the movie, sp...
David Cronenberg's very R-rated, very intense and very excellent remake of The Flyputs Jeff Goldblum in the role of Seth Brundle, a scientist who invents telepods meant to change the world. Instead, they change him into a man-fly monster when a fly accidentally gets trapped in one of the machines as Seth teleports from one pod to the other. The scr...
It rarely hurts to merge horror with a tinge of comedy, and John Landis' An American Werewolf in London is one of the finer examples of that combination. It's also one of several iconic werewolf moviesthat hit theaters in 1981. Of the trio, American Werewolf remains the most popular and well-loved. The film begins with two backpackers traveling the...
Can you believe that there's a movie on our list that got its title from a Morrissey song? This most unusual of love stories is a Swedish film which hit it big internationally with its tale of a 12-year-old boy and his centuries-old vampire... who looks like a 12-year-old girl (but most certainly isn't). Whether or not Oskar and Eli's relationship ...
Of course we're including a giallofilm on this list, though the question did come up as to which of the Italian horror masters was most deserving to represent this distinctive genre. In the end, we had to give it to Dario Argento and his Suspiria -- a supernatural shocker that is an experience in style as well as terror. The film is about an Americ...
George Romero practically created the zombie movie genre single-handedly in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead. Ten years later he refined the formula with Dawn of the Dead. Far bigger, gorier, and funnier than its predecessor, Dawn of the Dead remains Romero's definitive work. Whereas Night featured a small cast of survivors holed up in a remote f...
3 days ago · Come True85%. #3. Critics Consensus: Well-acted and visually striking, Come True offers an eerily effective reminder of how the sleeping subconscious can be fertile ground for horror. Synopsis: Looking for an escape from her recurring nightmares, 18-year-old Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone) submits to a university sleep study, but...
